[Broadside]: Coming! The Cook & Harris High Class Exhibition of Moving Pictures and Illustrated Songs. Pictures Projected from the Most Perfect and Costly Machine Ever Constructed
[No place]: B. Albert Cook, [circa 1905].
Price: $3,000.00
Unbound. Photographically illustrated broadside or poster printed in black, red, and grayscale on thin cardstock. Approximately 11" x 14". Some scraping in lower margin and soiling in margins, near very good. A poster for an itinerant showman who exhibited genuine motion pictures (as opposed to lantern slides or stereopticon images), apparently with some success between 1905-1907. One source notes that his outside exhibition in Cooperstown, New York in 1907 attracted a crowd of over 10,000 people. A rare and very early artifact of cinema history.
